When I was on sabbatical April told me she was "thinking" about getting a new car. Guess she went ahead and did it, huh?

The new signs with the new Intel logo look pretty cool at dusk or after dark. I love the blue glow.

Went to see Too Slim and the Taildraggers with my friend Julie on Saturday night at the Cascade Bar and Grill over in Vancouver. We have both been in kind of a funk lately so thought going out might pull us out of it. But like everything else, the band just didn't seem to do anything--didn't seem to have the punch it had the last couple times I've seen them. Nobody danced much and the crowd was rather subdued. Must be because they've banned smoking indoors at the club? At least we didn't leave smelling like we'd been rolling in an ashtray.

The nice weather has returned for a last gasp at summer. We've been having temps averaging 80-85 degrees for the last few days and it has been sooo nice. I couldn't help but capture a photo of the just breaking daylight reflected off the buildings on Marquam Hill just up from the west end of the Ross Island Bridge. Looks like it will be another glorious day.

Today we were enticed to sit outdoors at coffee by Carolyn because she had brought her little Sophie with her. She was driving her Barbie car so she couldn't leave Sophie in the car. So we took all the chairs and tables outside Papaccino's to make a big long gathering place. Joan and John were there with their granddaughter Maya. Maya's other grandmother, Gilda was there as well. It was so pleasant outside and the light was so nice, I couldn't resist taking candids of all the folks who sat facing me across the table.

Judy was deep in conversation with someone when I caught her photo.

Yachiyo asks Judy how she liked class this morning. Notice her jacket--it says "Instructor" on the front and "Jazzercise" on the back.

You see some very interestingly clad people stop in for coffee on Saturday mornings. If there was ever a perfect place to do some people watching, this would be the place. It was about 11:15am when this gal drove up and came strolling in wearing her PJs and slippers. I've seen Reedy's wearing full slips as dresses (that was the style at the time), but I don't think I've ever seen anyone in their PJs. She's taken "casual" to a whole new level if you ask me!

Julie made a rare appearance and joined us at Papaccino's. She went to the 9:30am class and usually goes to a different coffee place with another crowd. If you look carefully, you can see Diana's reflection in the window.
